Continuing our celebration of National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM), we're proud to recognize the employer partners who are helping create more inclusive workplaces throughout our community. At Betty Rae's Ice Cream, Anna and Zoe have become valued members of the team, bringing positivity, dedication, and enthusiasm to their work every day.

Employers like Betty Rae's demonstrate how inclusion strengthens teams and creates a workplace where everyone can thrive.

This National Disability Employment Awareness Month, hear directly from Piotr about what he loves most about working at Olathe Glass and what having a job means to him.

Meaningful employment is about so much more than a paycheck. It helps build confidence, independence, friendships, new skills, and a sense of purpose. Through opportunities like these, individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities can grow, contribute their talents, and thrive in their communities.

At Inclusion Connections, we're committed to creating pathways to meaningful employment, but we can't do it alone.

Help us continue empowering individuals with I/DD through employment, education, and community inclusion. Learn more and support our mission at ickc.org.

Employers like you are essential to our mission and help make meaningful employment a reality for the individuals we serve.

Our students recently participated in a cooking class focused on healthy eating, nutrition, and kitchen safety. Learning how to prepare healthy meals and safely navigate the kitchen are important life skills that help build confidence, independence, and overall well-being. Through hands-on kitchen activities, students gained practical knowledge they can use every day.

A special thank you to Joseph Vincelli, Chief Executive and Founder of The Artist Outreach, for traveling all the way from Texas to share this holistic learning experience with our students. We are grateful for your time, expertise, and dedication to empowering others through education and wellness. ✨
